One Way Out
One way, is there one way out?
One way, is there one way down?
One way, one way, one way.
One way to make a Chinese suit
One way to make a duck salute
One way, one way, one way
One way, is there one way down?
One way, is there one way out
One way, one way, one way
Nothing Wrong
Don't you know it's going to be this way, for as long as you imagine
Don't you know you can't change a thing too
It's going to change you first
Don't you know it's just not like that it's
It's nothing wrong it's just the song you sing
Doesn't help that you don't
Know what you can say when you've said it right
Oh you know it's so hard
Come around in a second you'll know
Coming around again
I'd like to set you right this time now
Even when you go up and down you see
It's not like that
If you try to change a thing you know
that doesn't get it back
In a second I'd call you on it
It's nothing wrong it's just the song you sing
Doesn't help that you don't
know what you can say when you've said all
Know what you are saying through the trial
No one's going to get you on the top
yeah you can live like that
I'd like to set you right this time now
Get it Right
Com around I'd like to show you
that it was alright
Maybe then I'd reach back down and
bring you from inside
Why do you always think you've got to get it right on the first try
oh please pretty darling just give me a chance to show you
show you that I'm right
Now come on and show me
You are not as strange as you might think, no I've see worse
You don't have to finish what you start when you know it won't work
Why do you always think you've got to get it right on the first try
Oh please pretty darling just give me a chance to show you
show you that I'm right
Now come on and show me
Fokus
Fokus keep it on the steam room
never on the green room
Where the wind is blowing
Angels, devils know each other
hang onto each other
when they're going out on the town
I run to catch the bus, but I can't find my shoe
so I stay here with you, alone
I start to scream for help, he calls the press
who mad this mess
Fokus, keep it on the scarecrow
keep it on the victim
keep it going over, again
You're sick guess whose got the problem
Guess who caused the problem
Take your pills, clean up your room
With no remorse or regrets go on placing you bets
Feeding your pets, their food
I'll go back to my own parade and have a drink in the shade
They made me afraid
You too
Fokus keep it on the daydream
keep it all together
Keep it going over, again
Greenfield
In Greenfield, I lost all the receipts
I went to find a grocery store with, imitation meat
In a diamond, buried in a mound
A voice it keeps on haunting me it sings without a sound
A mishap to your mind just happened
a mishap it's your last mistake
A mishap to your mind just happened
this could be a moral break
I'm dying, looking for a name
All I found are letters and the letters look the same
Through my window, I see windows everywhere
I used to see the sky outside, but now it isn't there
A mishap to your mind just happened
a mishap it's your last mistake
A mishap to your mind just happened
this will be a moral break
No one wants to go to school today
make it go away
No one wants to let the horses run
They're going to have their day
inside a little town
In Greenfield, I lost all the receipts
I went to find a grocery store with imitation meat
In a diamond, buried in a mound
A voice it keeps on haunting me
it sings without a sound
A mishap to your mind just happened
a mishap, it's your last mistake
A mishap to your mind just happened
this will be a moral break
In Greenfield…..
Keys to Heaven
We had a broken green Mercedes
and couldn't drive it in the rain
We had a couple bad flat tires
We pulled off the main road again
To the home where people wait
A waiting room outside the gate
Where you check in but you don't check out
They had military secrets, hiding out in people's veins
Kill to cure another victim sitting in a chair in chains
That place was real clean
A cross between Mad magazine
and a strip club and a house of horrors
They offered me the keys to heaven so I would stay inside their hell
They chased me right out to the doorway, 'cause when I left they knew I'd tell
Don't do it brother
No one's ever called me brother before
They had a big bald night watchman, and he was dreaming in my bed
Deprived me of the sleep I needed so they could dream my dreams instead
You'll solve the dreams you've dreamed, since childhood it seemd
Then he got up and went back to work
The offered me the keys to heaven, so I would stay inside their hell
They chased me right out to the doorway, 'cause when I left they knew I'd tell
Don't do it brother, no one's ever cared about you before
Don't do it brother, no one's ever escaped that place before
Long Day
All the love you had, you gave
All the lives you live live inside of me
It's going to be a long, long day
I'll hold you close until I have to set you free
It's going to be a long, long day
Love is all around us but I'm still afraid
I just can't bear to face another rain parade
What you mean to me
I'll hold you close until I have to set you free
It's going to be a long, long day baby, but it'll get you to the night
All the love you had, you gave
All the lives you lived live inside of me
It's going to be a long, long day
It's going to be a long, long day baby, but it'll get you to the night
It's going to be a long, long day, but it'll get you to the night
Outhouse
Well the birds keep singing
The bells keep ringing
The lights keep blinking
I keep on thinking why
I don't know why
And the lines in your head
The things that you said
The blood that you bled
It keeps taking up my time
I don't know why
All I'm trying to do is make it through another day of life
Well they gave me a mind that was fit to rule
Now I'm throwing out, what I bought in school
Up in the line
Down again
Are you out of your mind?
You might as well pretend
And the lines keep breaking
The leaves need raking
The hands keep shaking
It keeps taking up my time
I don't know why
And the lives that you led
The things that you read
The lard you were fed
It's just a way to pass the time
I don't know why
All I'm trying to do is make it through another day of
Screaming into an outhouse
Screaming into an outhouse
Screaming into an outhouse all my life
August Fourteen
It's never too late, so I sit and wait
but I know I'll be alone, again today
I put down the plate, and I celebrate
but I know I'll be alone, again today
I don't see you
Can you see me?
You're just a memory, playing on repeat
but when I close my eyes everything is sweet
on August fourteen
Isn't' it great
We're fashionably late
again today
I don't see you
Can you see me
It's just a long goodbye
Playing on repeat
But when I close my eyes
everything is sweet
Until we meet ( again)……
Fight Magic With Magic
I used to think my life was great
Got so beat down I couldn't think straight
and the dream I paid for never came
I was caught in a sadistic game
Then you came along and showed me why
Help me break this spell before I die
Fight magic with magic
I used to watch the hit parade
Contaminated everything it played
Then you came along and let me see
how they pulled the tricks they pulled on me
I was drowning in an empty well
'till you came along to break the spell
Fight magic with magic
White magic, black magic
There's only one magic
that you can do
